A neutral water cracker, made in Yorkshire, that is deliciously crisp and toasty. A perfect accompaniment to any cheese. Made in Yorkshire. Because they don’t contain any leavening agent like yeast or baking powder, water crackers are notoriously hard to make; they are difficult to bake and need flame grilling. Hence very few biscuit companies make them. It is this lack of ingredients that made them long lasting and ideal for sea voyages – hence their nickname “ships biscuit”. Produced just outside Leeds, these crackers are still made to traditional methods that include flame grilling and using only the finest Yorkshire water. These now come in a round shape rather than rectangular and are labelled ‘Yorkshire Crackers’.

L'Ormarins Brut Classique NV has eye catching vigorous bubbles. Typical yeast and cracker biscuit notes on the nose with lively citrus rind and a briny, maritime nuance also apparent. The mouth manages to be both refreshingly vibrant and dry at the same time. Bright effervescence with creamy lees richness from its time in bottle, with distinct brioche and sourdough toast notes vying with lively grapefruit and citrus flavours. Elegant, restrained, taut and thrilling, it’s beautifully poised yet equally flamboyant and exuberant! A gentle nutty note lingers on the long tail.

Toast’ is oh so thin, light and crisp, but what makes it unique is that around 55 % of the cracker is composed of fruits, nuts and seeds. Making it oh so fruity, oh so nutty and oh so – well ‘seedy’! For Rich Blue Cheeses such as Fourme D’Ambert, Stilton & Gorgonzola Dolce.
